Remastered from the Original 2 and 3 Track Master Tapes & Recut by Engineer Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in New York

RCA's "golden age" was more like a "golden minute" - in a scant period, roughly from 1958 to 1963, the beginning of the stereo era - pure vacuum tube amplification helped produce recordings demonstrating unparalleled fidelity and warmth, lifelike presence and midband illumination.

The RCA Living Stereo title Festival features an excellent collection of Russian orchestral favorites by the likes of Kabalevsky, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, and Glinka to go along with one of the best versions of Moussorgsky's "Night On Bare Mountain" as performed by the mighty Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by the great Fritz Reiner. Produced by Richard Mohr and engineered by Lewis Layton.

Pressed at Quality Record Pressings and plated by Gary Salstrom. Packaged in the original tip-on jacket facsimiles that precisely duplicate the original cover art, including the "Living Stereo" logo, LSC numbers and "Shaded Dog" label. These reissues are designed from the mastering, to the cutting, to the pressing and packaging to be the finest RCA Living Stereo LPs ever reissued. These new versions are clearer than the originals and warmer and richer than past reissues.
